There was a very representative gather ing as the Scala Theatre at the first exhibition of the film; and I noticed that the large audience included celebrities of the day in Society, politics, and litera ture, The utmoet interest was manifest ed in Commander Wild's running "com ments on the pictures shown-pictures of the tittle ship cutting through the ice- floes, of the crew playing football, on the ice with the temperature forty degrees below zero, of sen elephanta and penguina, and of the routine life of the party by day on board The Quest amid the rust sulitudes of the Antarctic.
